Il dato complessivo è influenzato dalle caratteristiche della società San Germano che utilizza le assunzioni con contratto a tempo determinato (210 nel 2021) per far fronte all’avvio di servizi affidati in appalto, anche a carattere stagionale. Al netto di questo effetto, oltre l’89% delle assunzioni avviene con contratto a tempo indeterminato o contratto di apprendistato, mentre le restanti assunzioni a tempo determinato sono dovute a esigenze stagionali o sostitutive.

The main reason for termination is related to consensual terminations of employment linked to the demographic rebalancing plan, with incentives to leave. Almost all terminations due to the expiration of fixed-term contracts depend on the San Germano company (118 in 2021). There were no collective redundancies and/or redundancies for economic reasons.

In the preparation of the Business Plan, studies and simulations were carried out to assess the Group personnel eligible to retire over the plan period. Consequently, the Group is preparing to handle these potential terminations in the period 2021-2030, taking into account possible organisational changes and the new skills needed. In the Group there are no specific pension plans, however, all legal and contractual obligations are respected.

Turnover increased compared to 2020 due to the generational turnover process, which also led to a high number of new hires and the use of pre-employment training courses.
